Nahanni Grizzlies

 

slide-12.jpgDuring the 2004 and 2005 field seasons, CPAWS-NWT partnered with the Wildlife Conservation Society and Parks Canada to bring Dr. John Weaver to the South Nahanni Watershed.  Dr. Weaver conducted field studies on the distribution and composition of the Nahanni grizzly population. His research concluded that the Nahanni grizzly population was healthy but that the existing National Park boundaries were too small to support such large predators sustainably over time.
